Wizards Gives All MTG Arena Players A Shot At Cash, Glory With MTG Arena Open

In today’s State of the Game update for MTG Arena, Wizards of the Coast’s Magic Digital team announced a way for players to compete and win real money from the safety of their homes in MTG Arena.

In the very first ever Arena Open, a two-day competitive event where every MTG Arena player will have a chance to join the game’s top players and compete for cash, glory, and in-game rewards.

While the Arena Open is currently separate from Magic’s esports division (meaning you can’t earn Mythic Points or qualify for a Mythic Championship/Invitational through this competition), it’s still a pretty unique initiative, and should attract some serious talent. The Open’s entry fee is paid with MTGA’s in-game currencies (20,000 Gold or 4,000 Gems), which shakes out to roughly $25 to enter.

Any player who accumulate the tournament’s required 7 wins on both days (surely not a simple task) will net themselves $2,000 cash, and 2000 in-game gems. The tournament is two days, sign-ups end on May 31st at 4am PT.
